Recipe for Masala Omelette
Masala Omelette is a quick and easy Indian breakfast recipe made with eggs. In many cities, these are also available as street food, wherein people who head out early in the morning and have no time to cook and eat at home stop by a street vendor for a quick breakfast of omelette and pav ( and Indian soft bread ). The street vendors smear a generous amount of butter on the pav and serve it with an omelette. It is a hearty breakfast that keeps you filled and satisfied for a long time. It is easy on the pocket too.

Masala Omelette is usually paired with Pav or any soft white bread. However, since I live in Germany, I created a fusion dish by serving my masala omelette with German whole-wheat bread
